Shiny leaf coffee (Psychotria nervosa) is my favorite native plant and it is also a favorite of the local bees! Zone 9b, Florida, USA

Is it called that because it looks similar to a coffee plant or because it also makes a decent beverage?

EDIT: nvm. I was too curious to wait for a response.

This is not a coffee substitute (Pinkley 1969; Austin 2004). Its common name is may be a reference to some visual similarity to coffee
